Oh, I think you would be super worried about it! But not “beat ourselves up” in the sense of feeling like “I really should have known”. In contrast to the part I think we really should have known, which was that the odds of success were not 100% and that trying to figure out a reasonable estimate for the odds of success and the implications of failure would have been a valuable exercise that did not require a ton of foresight.
Bit of a nit, but “we created” is stronger phrasing than I would use. But maybe I would agree with something like “how can we be confident that the next billionaire we embrace isn’t committing fraud”. Certainly I expect there will be more vigilance the next time around and a lot of skepticism.
